In a heartwarming turn of events, the intense rivalry between WNBA stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese has momentarily softened, united by the joyous news of their mutual friend and teammate, Lexie Hull’s engagement.

Hull, a standout player for the Indiana Fever, shared the happy news on Instagram, posting a black-and-white photo showcasing her engagement ring and a simple emoji caption. She and her fiancé, Will Matthiessen, first met as student-athletes at Stanford University.

This engagement marks a significant milestone in Hull’s already remarkable year, which included leading the Rose Basketball Club to the inaugural Unrivaled 3×3 league title in March.

A temporary pause in the rivalry

The announcement of Hull’s engagement has led to an unexpected pause in the fierce competition between Clark and Reese. Both players, known for their on-court intensity, took to social media to express their happiness for Hull.

Clark’s exuberant “YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYY SO HAPPY” and Reese’s enthusiastic “GO BIG LEXIEEEEEE SO HAPPY FOR YOU” highlight the camaraderie that exists off the court among these athletes.

The relationship between Clark and Reese has evolved from fierce competitors in college basketball to professional teammates in the WNBA.

Their rivalry reached its peak during the 2023 NCAA championship game between LSU and Iowa, drawing nearly 10 million viewers and setting a record for the most-watched women’s college basketball game. Despite their competitive nature, Reese has expressed a desire to play alongside Clark in the future, emphasizing the mutual respect and admiration between the two stars.

Upcoming emotional homecomings

As the WNBA season approaches, both Clark and Reese are preparing for emotional homecomings during preseason games. The Indiana Fever will face Brazil at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, while the Chicago Sky will play at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. For Clark and Reese, these games represent a return to the venues where they achieved collegiate success, adding personal significance to the upcoming matchups.

In a league that continues to grow in prominence, moments like these showcase the bonds that transcend competition, reminding fans of the shared humanity and sportsmanship that define the WNBA.

Getty Images The 2025 NFL Draft is down to Day 3 after an exciting and unpredictable two days, which began with the first round on Thursday night in Green Bay. Shockingly, Colorado's Shedeur Sanders was still on the board after not being selected in the first three rounds, and that's still the case with the fourth round now completed.Round 4 began with a run on offensive playmakers, as the Titans snagged Florida wide receiver Chimere Dike, the Jaguars added Virginia Tech speedster Bhayshul Tuten and the Giants landed do-it-all running back Cameron Skattebo. It turned out to be a big round for running backs, as six heard their names called.Other notable picks included defensive linemen Deone Walker (Bills, No. 108) and Ty Robinson (Eagles, No. 111), edge rusher Jack Sawyer (Steelers, No. 123) and wide receivers Jaylin Lane (Commanders, No. 128) and […]

Getty Images Day 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft  is in the books, and if the first round is any indication, it will be one of the most interesting drafts in recent memory. Just two quarterbacks were taken and one of them was not named Shedeur Sanders. Sanders will have to wait until Friday to be selected as he fell out of the first round as numerous teams passed on the Colorado signal caller.The Tennessee Titans had the No. 1 draft pick for the first time since 1978 and took Miami quarterback Cam Ward. Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter was taken next by Jacksonville at No. 2 after a mega-trade between the Jaguars and Browns.

How far will Shedeur Sanders fall in 2025 NFL Draft? Colorado QB not picked in Round 4 as Day 3 continues

Getty Images Shedeur Sanders may believe he's the best quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft class, but NFL teams apparently feel otherwise. After going unselected in the first round on Thursday night, Sanders was also completely overlooked in Round 2, when Louisville's Tyler Shough became the next quarterback to come off the board. Then all of Round 3 also passed without his name being called. Jalen Milroe, meanwhile, became the fourth quarterback off the board when the Seattle Seahawks drafted the Alabama star at No. 92 overall. Two picks later, the Cleveland Browns selected Oregon signal-caller Dillon Gabriel, passing on Sanders for the fourth time in the draft. Day 3 of the draft is underway, and Sanders went undrafted in the fourth round -- the opening round on Saturday -- as well.  Sanders' dramatic tumble came hours after CBS Sports NFL insider […]
